Thanks to our great friend @"Muddy Poppins" for his Victor comparisons by all the manufacturers, I decided to do the same with my small Victor collection and found a number of big differences, so I'm going to list them here:
1.) HiT Toys/Fisher-Price TrackMaster(1.0) Victor has the shortened height to make him seem smaller compared side-by-side to any other engine, which I feel made him very accurate, but he did lack a lot of detail, and I wasn't very fond of so many stickers being used to give such detail as he was in the program.
2.) TAKARA TOMY Plarail Victor (both Pre-Sodor and Sodor) has a vast amount of detail, making him quite the jewel to admire, and his speeds are a touch different; my Pre-Sodor Victor seems to run just a touch faster than his Sodor Livery counterpart, but I am beyond words with how thrilled that the Pre-Sodor Victor is just like how he was in Cuba before he took a dip in Brendam Docks.
3.) TrackMaster 2.0 Victor is somewhat elongated, which makes it quite good and easily modded to create another engine more realistically; sadly, his face looks like an ape's, which I'm not too fond of. His detail is painted on, but I have already seen signs of it being worn away just from sitting in its box on the store shelves and pegs.
4.) Each one has a varied running speed compared to its other counterpart; obviously, the fastest would be thought to be the Fisher-Price TrackMaster 2.0, but my Pre-Sodor Victor easily overtook him and made a sizable gap between the two. Slowest was HiT Toys, but I attribute that to years of love from me, as I enjoyed watching him run alongside some of my other engines.
5.) As for aesthetics (photography, filming), the line-up from me is as follows: 1.) Pre-Sodor Victor 2.) Plarail Victor 3.) HiT Toys TM Victor 4.) F.P. TM 2.0 Victor. I might be a touch prejudice towards Pre-Sodor Victor, as I love the colour green (Have to represent my university somehow), but I feel it has much more character and life to it compared to its Sodor counterpart from Plarail. HiT Toys certainly has the short and stumpy height down, but I feel there is a large lack of detail within the engine itself, and I don't think I must divulge into the 2.0 version at all.
